Black To White

Forgive me Lord my lack of sight, For seeing things in black and white. From white to black in one quick blink; I've mostly missed how others think. Lone point of view, all I can see-- Comes from myself, oh perfect me. No vivid tints or subtle hues, Lends reason for what others do. From black to white and back again, How many times I test my friends? I've viewed this world a mystery, Blind to the vistas others see. Now Lord I plead in humble prayer, To help me see what's really there. Please show the colors long concealed, Another's viewpoints now revealed. That I may see with sight renewed, A world in shades of countless hues. Include those colors I will hate: Foul deeds that seal a bad man's fate. As well as hues of love and grace, My former blindness now erased. Black to white and white to black Please God restore those shades I lack.

Thank you Daisy Marie. When you think of it and put it into its proper perspective; I guess you would call it colorful. A good come back . . gives me a chuckle.
